 I ran some tests on HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient basic auth-type and found
 that it stopped working when I created 49 or more clients.
 I started with 10 clients and kept adding 10 more at a time. When I had 39
 clients, the hidden service worked, but when I added 10 more, the hostname
 and client_keys were generated as expected, but hidden service stopped
 working for all of the clients.

 HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/test_public/ # tlxnxx74fpmkw2qh.onion
 HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
 HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient basic \
 tlx_cl01, \
 tlx_cl02, \
 tlx_cl03, \
 ...
 tlx_cl47, \
 tlx_cl48, \
 tlx_cl49

 According to the man page and the specs, the stealth mode doesn't work for
 more than 16 clients, but implied that the basic mode should work.
